The architect of the building is given as George Duckworth and it had a seating capacity of 800. In 1924 it had become the Pavilion Cinema and architect Cecil Masey had been brought in to modernise and expand the building. It now had seating provided for 1,039 in the stalls and 461 in the balcony. By 1936 it was listed as being operated by General Cinema Theatres Ltd and known as the New Pavilion Cinema.
